Gina Holt

    About the Artist

    Originally from New York, Gina Holt currently resides in Bothell, WA,

    ​where she works from her home studio. Born in 1959, Gina says that she

    inherited her creativity from her father, a dancer, and her mother, an artist.

    As a child she loved to spend her spare time drawing, painting and

    making up imaginary characters for the stories she illustrated.

    Gina received a BA in art from the University of Oregon, where she focused

    on printmaking, illustration and painting. After graduating, Gina augmented

    her creative abilities by taking classes in ceramic hand-building at Pottery

    Northwest. Gina has since experienced an unending joy of working with

    clay, as this medium allows her to transform the 2-d media she is so

    familiar with into virtual 3-d canvases that simultaneously employ her

    drawing, sculpting and painting skills.

    Gina’s most recent works are colorful botanical​-​inspired sculptures that can

    either stand alone or hang on the wall. Inspirations for these life-like

    creations begin with ​her study of intricate nature photos and live plants

    from the garden. Gina’s eye-catching works emerge as she molds

    complexity, light and shadow into the clay. The addition of multiple layers of

    combined glazes and textures enhance and complete each unique work of

    art​. ​ Gina then ​signs, numbers, and writes on the back of each botanical

    piece  a sentimental meaning that ​primarily​ derives ​from ​Victorian era-  

    floral dictionaries, making each and every sculpture a thoughtful  experience.​

    Gina began selling her pieces in 1991 through gift galleries and juried

    shows. Her devoted groupies know well that her works in clay started as

    floral-themed mirrors and architectural-style clocks. A number of her

    followers are thrilled to have more than a handful of these collectors’ items

    gracing the walls of their homes.

    ​There is an optimism and delightful cheerfulness to Gina's work that

    consistently impels collectors of her art to pre-purchase pieces from her

    shows prior to the shows’ openings. Gina’s art has gained attention across

    the United States.
